Jos Buttler’s England are the defending champions heading into the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. They won the title at the MCG in 2022.
On April 30th, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) named their 15-man squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, which will be played in June in the West Indies and USA.
While Curran will be required to play a crucial role for his side once again in the upcoming tournament, Stokes had opted out from this year’s T20 World Cup in order to recover from a knee surgery.
Talking about their squad, the headlines have been hogged by the return of Jofra Archer, who has made a comeback in the T20I series against Pakistan recently after being away for more than a year from international cricket due to an elbow injury. Returning to the national team is also fast bowler Chris Jordan.
The defending champions have a destructive batting order that includes skipper Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, along with all-rounders Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali. Left-arm spinner Tom Hartley has been picked in the 15-man squad to assist in the spin department that will be headed by leg-spinner Adil Rashid. Ben Duckett, Reece Topley, and Mark Wood complete the squad.
